Ron Mader: Here's the first must-follow, must-amplify, feel good hashtags of the year. Presenting #UsaTuVoz (Use Your Voice) promoted by Voces del Valle (@VocesValle) which encourages Indigenous language use on social networks.
The hashtag was launched to curate the tweets of Oaxacan high school students who committed to tweeting in their Indigenous languages 10 times a week for 7 weeks. There have now been three cycles.

Would you like to support young writers who are writing ina language that almost no one can read and working to createliterature in a language in which almost nothing is written?
Call for Volunteer Readers for a Literature Creation Project Voces del Valle de Tlacolula, @VocesValle
Volunteers will be partnered with a high-school aged writer who has committed to tweet in their language (Zapotec, Mixtec, Triqui, or Mixe) at least 5 times a week between April 15 and June 8, 2016. As a volunteer you should have some knowledge of Spanish, though fluency is not required. No knowledge of indigenous languages of Mexico is required. You will commit to reading your writer’s Tweets at least 3 times a week and supporting your writer by engaging with their writing on Twitter and communicating with them (via WhatsApp, etc.) about the content of their writing. Your job is to be a reader for your writer: let them know at least one person is waiting to see what they write. To read more about the project (in Spanish): http://bit.ly/COLOV-Voces-2 To volunteer or if you have questions, write to Brook Lillehaugen at blilleha@haverford.edu
The hope is that some young writers involved on this project may come to identify themselves as writers of their language and be part of the creation of written literature for their community beyond this project.
